Großzügigkeit

Renate Seifarth

|

Ein Ausdruck vom Verstehen von anatta ist eine großzügige Haltung. Anderersseits ist Geben, Teilen und Helfen eine der drei Säulen in der Praxis. Großzügiges Geben ist dabei die schönste Form, die uns auch die größte Freude bringt. Großzügig geben können wir Vieles. In kleinen Schritten können wir Großzügigkeit entfalten.

Inestimable Esteem
1:18:01

|
Nathan Glyde

There is always a sense of self-esteem operating, affected by and affecting how we evaluate, and how much we value and care about ourselves. Self-esteem also influences our perception of the world, as we see through the self-esteem flavoured view. When this flows into self-confidence (or lack thereof) we see how significant how much we back ourselves to act in the world, further shapes the world. Our real potential naturally lies beyond whatever constricted views, and blind spots (assumptions and presumptions) we inevitably have. Knowing we can, and how we can shape the self-esteem view, is another step on the path of freedom.

The open state is unrushed, receptive to all the six senses. It receives them with a basic intelligence that stays intact and responds.

00:18 Q1 When experiencing feelings and emotions is it part of the practice just to experience the suffering?07:59 Q2 When dealing with powerful emotions, is the foundation that you speak of built from continuous practice, being real? 17:15 Q3 If self enquiry is to bring us to a place of open heatedness, why do we carry these stories with us? How has that come about, that is has become so important to us? 33:43 Q4 Do you think that as you go on the path that you can experience suffering more? Because you are more aware of it? 46:34 Q5 How do you develop the level of understanding and insight that you have? 52:36 Q6 How can we find the balance between intentionally cultivating skillful qualities and accepting or allowing them to emerge?

Was verbirgt sich hinter Nibbana?
42:37
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Es ist wichtig unser Ziel zu kennen, das als Nibbana bezeichnet wird. Für Nibbana gibt es viele Umschreibungen und Synonyme, die auf die Wirkung von Nibbana hinweisen. Manche stellen das Ziel in weiter Ferne. Dabei ist es ganz nah und zeigt sich in kleinen Erfahrungen tiefen Loslassens. Der Buddha spricht von drei Toren, durch die wir zu einer anderen Art des Daseins gelangen, die von Friede erfüllt ist. Dennoch ängstigen wir uns manchmal vor Nibbana und manchmal gibt es überhöhte Vorstellungen, wie das Leben danach aussehen mag. Auch deswegen ist es hilfreich sich mit dem Ziel ein wenig zu beschäftigen.

In taking refuge we seek an environment where we feel we can find ourselves, be safe and grow. How can we operate in or even transform our relationship to the toxicity of the world?
